4 out of 5 stars Not just the Power of Positive Thinking.......2007-10-05

I enjoyed and am still enjoying this book. I reread passages often. This is not just about the Power of Positive Thinking to get what you want specifically. It is a philosophy. Think good thoughts; review your daily events before you sleep; turn around negative events; give thanks for what you do have. People who abide by those ideas will automatically develop a more positive outlook which in turn makes people around them feel better. Like when you're on the road and someone wants to get in front of you, if you wave and let them go, you usually see someone behind you taking up the chain to do the same thing. It's contagious and right-thinking. An EXCELLENT book with great thoughts of many contemporary philosophers and motivational speakers.

5 out of 5 stars Career Training Enhancer.......2007-10-04

Many lives by it. Millions are reading it. The latest self help book claims we can change our lives by thinking. But this 'new thought' may just be another new version of NLP and the power of the subconscious. No matter what, it doesn't hurt to read and apply since all of it is positive. Gave many of it as gifts and even recommending it for my meirc trainees in dubai.

5 out of 5 stars The Only Self Help Book You Will Ever Need.......2007-10-03

I can see why some people wouldn't like this book. Rhonda Byrnes and the other contributers present the ideas so simply that its hard to swallow at first. You think it should be more complicated. But if you can get past that the ideas here are really true. Even more importantly, this is a self help book that really helps. Most books like this leave you feeling okay or hopeful after reading them but this is one you can actually test right after you read it. I did test it and I have already seen results. I know it sounds crazy but it works. Why fight it?

1 out of 5 stars The Secret.......2007-10-03

This book is a sad, desperate philosophy of life- at best. At worst, it is a bizarre way of thinking about the world which leads to feelings of guilt and inadequacy for self and lack of compassion for others.

I know a woman, still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, who devotes herself to the Laws of Attraction and believes she attracted it into her life. How sad! And how arrogant! I am confident that not all victims of Katrina would agree that they "attracted" a natural disaster to themselves. And I don't believe the woman practicing 'the secret' is more powerful than the cumulative total of the other victims- who did NOT attract a hurricane into their lives!

Few people would dispute the idea that healthy attitudes are a classy and beneficial thing. But to say that we all attract that which we have is ridiculous. So the cancer patient and mother of a murdered child should have paid more attention to what they were attracting to themselves so that they wouldn't be dealing with their hardship now? Wow. Who wants to associate with these idiots? Forget The Secret. Don't make these hucksters any richer. Buy instead Barbara Sher's books on how to find success with supportive people. And if you have a good attitude and still got hit with some of life's hard curve balls, don't spend a moment feeling inadequate because you didn't do "the secret" right! Read instead When Good Things Happen to Bad People, by a very kind, much wiser person. Who, by the way is also wealthy and happy.

3 out of 5 stars Old News to Many, but a Well-Packaged Piece. Has a Generous Following........2007-10-03

I remember watching this movie with my progressive university campus church and feeling almost bored out of my mind. This movie seemed to be telling me many things I've already heard. Or, DID I hear them? You, see, the only reason why the information came across as quite basic and trite to me is because I've already been living out its principles in my daily life, sometimes unknowingly. I don't remember exactly where I got them from. Maybe I knew them all along or had them as a part of my inner being. I have used "the secret" as revealed in this film (no, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it) and it does indeed work, but I found that it was nothing to be amazed about.

What felt weirdest to me was that people were utterly crazed about this film. I could tell that they were be honest about it being eye-opening. I kind of found myself laughing inside, but then wiped the smirk off of my face when I realized that such just meant that I had been very fortunate in life to discover the tiny bits of wisdom talked about in this film and such may have not been so "obvious" to everyone.

My rating is not on the content of the "secret" contained in this film itself, as it would be unfair to judge this film in such light, considering that I already knew and had been introduced to much of what it had to offer. Rather, I give it three stars for the packaging and delivery of the message. The film is effective and certainly makes use of several notable experts. It's colorful and will keep people tuned in. It appeals to a broad audience and isn't too preachy.

The film could have been a little shorter, as the message is a bit redundant, but I'm sure if it had been then people would complain that it's "too short". I don't think it's fair to rate this film with one star, because it wasn't "horrible" and a "total waste" of minutes from my life. But, I also don't think this film is "ground-breaking" or worthy enough for a four- or five-star rating. Three stars sounds about right.

I spend a lot of time in my car and now I can do someting productive while I sit in traffic.

4 out of 5 stars Behind the Wheel Spanish.......2007-09-30

This is a detailed product that has made it easier for me to learn Spanish than what I have experienced through either formal classes or other products. I would recommend it to my friends.

5 out of 5 stars Fun and Powerful.......2007-07-15

This course is a powerhouse course for learning spanish. So much useful vocabulary and conversational skills are covered in this course it is mind blowing. Mark's strategy is to use variable repetition to build a solid base on which to learn spanish and that magic is working on me. Mark has a solid sense of which words, phrases, sentence structures etc. are most used by english and spanish speaking folks alike, and he pounds them home till they become second nature.
It's all here, not just sentence building, but how to say the time, the days of the week, count into the millions, talk about the weather and a million other daily kinds of stuff humans around the world talk about or use in thier language on a daily basis.
Mark has made an excellent tool for learning Spanish available, it is now up me, the learner, to decide how far and how fast I want to utilize it.
In such a short while I am speaking in rudimentary ways to my Spanish friends, and they are stunned at my progress knowing that -truly- the extent of my Spanish was "adios" before beginning this course.
I hope that helps some of you decide.
all the best

5 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful.......2007-07-09

I am engaged to a Spanish man, who's entire family speaks Spanish most of the time. Using this program has really helped me get started on learning the language. Now when I am at family gatherings, I find myself understanding the gist of the conversations going on. I haven't finished the program yet, but I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and has a long commute to work or spends a lot of time on the road.

I'm still on disk 1, but so far can say that I am well pleased. Pronunciation is clear and the lessons are very easy to follow. I'm looking forward to learning more spanish with these lessons.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Supplement.......2007-05-16

The most important thing to remember when purchasing this pack is that these CDs are for beginners, NOT novice speakers. People who have had some training with Chinese in the classroom or self-study may be able to pick up and use this CD pack, but the information is presented too rapidly (and there is too much presented at once) to be good for initial acquisition.

I would give it 5 stars, but there is no clear advertising about this product. If I had some information about the rapid pace and the target audience, I probably would not have purchased this set. It will, however, be a useful set once I've mastered some basic phrases.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent! CD 1 and Beyond.......2006-06-16

The 'good' doesn't stop with CD1. It's just beginning.
I notice no difference between the approach used in 'Behind the Wheel Chinese/Mandarin' and other Behind the Wheel courses I have used.
CD 2 and beyond evolve sentence building, tenses, expressions,
and tons of vocabulary that they teach you how to assemble.
Great course.

4 out of 5 stars Good for listening comprehension and practice.......2006-05-06

This audio set is very useful for getting an idea of how things are pronounced natively, and some slight variations on those pronunciations. However, it would not be a good idea to start here, as it relies heavily on memory. However, a good accompanying set to any books and courses.

Meant to be listened to, not to replace study while not driving.

3 out of 5 stars Great vocabulary but very disorganized.......2006-04-02

I recently bought the BHTW Chinese and honestly, I was disappointed. Let me say that I am a translator/intrepreter for some Western languages, teach languages, including at an Ivy League university - so language-learning is an important part of my life.
Before I start with the specific comments, I just want to say a few words about all-audio courses in general. They are NOT for everyone. People learn in different ways and to learn a language, you generally have to inundate yourself in all ways, through visual AND audio stimuli. If you are very busy and spend a lot of time commuting, this obviously has value but I question how much you are actually retaining and more importantly able to reproduce in a different situation when you just listen. It can take longer when just having the audio stimulus. [...] they say right on the cover it can also be for home use, say on the computer while you are working, laying in bed etc. When I teach my language classes, I tell the students the audio materials are very important but ALWAYS review the text first before just listening. If this is such a nutty idea, why does Language Dimensions offer a script for some of its Spanish courses? Obviously, some people would like this.

The good points: This is the opposite of Pimsleur were they just take 4-5 dialogues and repeat everything a million times, exposing you to very little vocabulary and very few situations. Here you get lots of good vocabulary. Also, they start out CD 1 just the right way, you start building simple sentences - you learn I, you - then some verbs work, eat etc. Then you make sentences "I want to eat", "I have to go" etc. Very good.

The bad points: 1) After CD 1, any real efforts to build sentences in a systematic way stop. Yes, there are some attempts to have structure - changing to different pronouns, negative verbs etc. but these instances often have no rhyme or reason. We often get lists and lists of expressions, with only the occasional question by the English native, "How do you say that?", "Wonderful", "Let's have some fun.." He will ask for the pronunciation of some word he finds interesting but ignore structures etc. which are much more complicated
2) Generally, the focus of the course is focusing on the ENGLISH and translating it to Chinese. Thus, you will get a whole series of things in English that sound alike, "I'm going to".... etc. but in Chinese the structures can be very different, "Wo qu...", other times "Wo dasuan" (I'm planning to), I give to/he gives to, sometimes "wei ta" sometimes "gei ta" - yet no explanation is ever given on why these things are different. You have the male and female speaker translating "I'm afraid" in 2 different ways, no explanation. This becomes a HUGE problem if you want to suddenly apply the Chinese vocabulary. One English sentence can be translated many ways, and it is, and no explanation is given why. It would be better to have a bit less vocabular and a but more instruction on how to use structure. This happens sometimes in the series but there is no rhyme or reason.
3) Not only do they make it oriented to the English words instead of the Chinese words, I am 99% sure that they used their original Spanish course as a basis and just translated everything into Chinese, based on the grammar objectives of the Spanish course. For example, there is a whole section on "indirect object pronouns" - an important issue in Spanish but in Chinese, the output can be very different, involving different ways for saying "to" - wei/gei, different verbs etc. Another section has "time and weather" - Why would they keep putting this together in one phrase in Chinese, I wondered. But in Spanish, the same word, tiempo does double duty. So in Chinese we get "tianqi haishi shijian" or "tianqi huo shijian" (neglecting to mention the important difference between "haishi" and "huo". When you look at it from this perspective, you see how the objectives for translating into Spanish work, but they don't for Chinese. For example, a lot of time is spent negating present tense verbs. In Chinese, for most present tense situations, you just use "bu" in front of the verb, that's it. But so much time is spent on this. Or changing from person to person - the speaker keeps stressing he wants this "formal" - well, if you are talking about tu/usted in Spanish, this is an issue. In Chinese, it's just ni versus nin, the verb form itself never changes for person. Sometimes, they are even sloppy enough to say formal and the Chinese speaker still uses "ni" instead of "nin"!
At another point, the speaker tries to make the Chinese shi/zai constructions into something like Spanish ser/estar. There are similarities but the attempts of the English native to do this is not productive and misleading.
So much time is wasted on this stuff while other stuff, like say particles zhe, guo etc. are ignored. Word order issues in Chinese are ignored. The point is, if you try to reproduce these structures on your own, you will have a lot of problems unless you do it exactly as was said.
4) Part of the problems lies in the fact that, while there is a ton of useful vocabulary, there are many, many things which you are unlikely to say - "Every child is a gift from God", "I never ate there, not even once" - things that are nice to know but it is at the expense of reinforcing sentences that are more standard. Vocab is not reviewed in a consistent way. They will throw in a word like "cai", guess, but never really do anything with it. The stories are just heaped on without any real hope of actively reproducing the vocab - like so-and-so "speaks with a thick accent" - just thrown in. I'd say they do nothing with 50% of the vocab or mention something only once.
5) Fully devoid of any cultural context outside of the language commentary. They mentioned chop sticks once. Beyond that, this could be the Arabic course or French course. No mention of famous sites in China. In their numerous examples, they never ONCE have a Chinese name! Always Bob, Maria etc., never Miss Li or Mr. Wang. So the course is oriented to the English key words and seems also to be based on the original Spanish AND it lacks any real cultural context for China.
6) The English-speaker. His role in this is very strange. As stated above, he will often go for pages reading phrases. Then through in a "wonderful". He will ask about an occasional word or pronunciation but it is worse when he makes his observations about grammar. Many things are just wrong or absurd. He asks the speaker if there is a way to say "I give to him" (Um, what language in the world doesn't have a way to say that?). At one point, he starts referring to the PAST TENSE in Chinese with LE. This is deceptive and incorrect. LE can happen in the present tense too, Wo bing le - but they translate this as "I'm sick", no explanation. At one point, he wants to review the subject pronouns, after 15 minutes of sentences using the subject pronouns. In CD 7, he is surprised to learn that there are no specific object pronouns in Chinese - they are the same as the subject ones - um, wouldn't it be a good idea to talk about that in CD 1? At another point, he says, "Chinese does not distinguish plural" um no, that is not accurate either. There are many cases when you can use "penyoumen" (friends) etc. No one says the person has to be a walking linguistics professor but what he says should be accurate. And, as I said above, he says many structures which sound alike in English but product different structures in Chinese, so this does not help you to reproduce the structures.
7) Attempts are made to address certain subjects, clothes, ordering food etc. Yet there is often no real attempt to speak about a certain topic. You'll get 5-6 sentences on a restaurant and then something completely different. It would be better if they could have more of a topic focus.

In summary: Yes, it has value. If you can learn the many phrases, you can say some very intesting things in Chinese. The problem arises, however, if you try to USE the structures beyond CD 1. You are given very little guidance for a whole mass of vocabulary, English structures that translate into many Chinese structures, vocabulary that many not be suitable for everyday situations. Buy it for the car, but something else for more comprehensive study at home.

5 out of 5 stars Great Course - Multi-Track - 2 Native Speakers.......2006-03-24

I tried Pimsleur's Chinese (Mandarin) (Instant Conversation) and returned it because it didn't have multi-tracks, they presented too little vocabulary and the the course was 'rigid'.
I prefer the method in Behind the Wheel Chinese because there are multi-tracks
(very important for in-car language learning), a good memory technique and great original sentence formation exercises that get you speaking Mandarin from the get-go.

4 out of 5 stars Entering the Castle 9-CD set with Caroline Myss.......2007-07-20

I am a huge fan of Caroline Myss and typically prefer to listen to her talk rather than read her books. However, for this particular title, I wish I had purchased the book as well as the CD and may still get the book. A significant amount of the topic involves time in meditation with your interior castle and while Dr. Myss talks you through each meditation, they are typically to short to allow an experience of completion.
But I must add that the spoken material about getting to know yourself on this deep level is both illuminating and thought provoking, in this way Caroline Myss met my expectations.

5 out of 5 stars CAROLINE MYSS SPEAKS FROM HER HEART AND SOUL..AN ENLIGHTENING AUDIO BOOK!.......2007-07-05

I have read and listened to MANY of Caroline Myss books and cd's and I find this is her best work yet! Before I bought this set from Amazon, I read all of the previous reviews and read that some reviewers felt that Caroline was rude or harsh. (I did not agree with some of the below poor reviews. Why? After listening to Caroline Myss on HayHouse Radio and on many of her previous CD's, I found Ms. Myss a very inpsiring and enlightening teacher. This CD set and also the book are for people that who are seeking serious spiritual enlightment and want to go on a very deep spiritual journey of the soul. After listening to many of her works, including Entering the Castle, I believe that she is very serious and dedicated to her work. Because she is so very passionate about her work, she has such deep feeling and expresses this passion in all of her lectures/CD's, including this one. For me, I love it that she is so very emphatic and direct in her delivery of her message on the CD's. That for me, is necessary for my SOUL and HIGHER SELF to listen and so that my spiritual journey is a wonderful change for the better. This teaching on these CD's are not just to listen to once and forget, they are meant to be listened to many times so you can better your soul. The Castle CD's are her best so far, and I will listen to them again for my soul's growth. Thanks Caroline!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-09-30

I bought this CD for use as a relaxation activity in an early childhood classroom for 3 to 5 year old children and it's wonderful. If I could give it more stars, it would have 10! This would be great for your child to listen to at night to help them wind down for bedtime, or in the afternoon for a rest time activity, and it's great for the classroom. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Great for my 3 yr old!!.......2007-09-25

I have an especially bright but anxious 3 1/2 yr old. I wasn't sure whe was going to take to this cd even after I listened to it. But she LOVES it and goes to sleep every night listening to it! I think it gives her something other than monsters to think about as she is falling asleep. We have been nightmare free wince we got it a week ago!!! I am thinking of making a copy for my 9 month old to listen to in our room as well.. the voice is so soothing and maybe she will like it as too!

5 out of 5 stars Soothing and relaxing for little ones.......2007-09-23

I love these cd's. I got this for my 5yr old because he is highly sensitive. After the daily stresses of (to him) loud noise, ugly smells, crowed class rooms, this cd helped him make it through kindergarden. And now he's enjoying first grade. I don't know what I would of done without Indigo Dreams.

4 out of 5 stars A nice cd.......2007-09-08

My kids and I have listened to this, and it's very relaxing. My 4-yr-old son and 8-yr-old daughter have both been fairly wiggle-free during listening. It's a nice wind-down at the end of the day. Sometimes the speaker seems a little too slow-talking for me, but when I just relax and calm down, it doesn't bug me as much. I very much enjoy relaxation and visualization techniques, and am happy to pass along the benefits to my kids.

5 out of 5 stars Great for 4 year olds and 30 year olds!.......2007-06-22

I bought this for my 4-year-old daughter who is high-spirited and has a hard time settling down at night. She loves this. We keep the CD on "repeat" through the night. That way if she wakes up, she just listens to the CD and it puts her back to sleep. No need to come to Mom and Dad's room! Yay! It's also the only meditation CD that I enjoy, for myself.

4 out of 5 stars Every bit as good as Pimsleur German I.......2005-10-20

Pimsleur Language Programs products are among the best-selling audio language courses available. `Organic learning' seeks to approximate the conditions in which ordinary language-learning takes place. The process is almost entirely aural, supplemented only minimally-or at the student's discretion, not at all-by reference to reading lessons after each half-hour lesson.

Clearly, Dr. Pimsleur and his disciples-I use the word advisedly, as a glance at promotional and instructional materials will demonstrate-have done their pedagogical homework. Utilizing the spectacular power of the brain for on-the-hoof language analysis and replication, the Pimsleur Language Programs lure their listeners into meaning-rich dialogues, providing only the information required for one to respond. The closest thing to a grammatical concept that a student hears is a brief warning that `this is the form used with feminine words'. Yet with a little effort, the student intuits her way to the correct and timely use of all that grammar describes.

This is an extremely productive approach at the level of basic conversational skills that is the bread and butter of Pimsleur's products. The course writers have found just the level at which to challenge the student without counterproductive frustration. One is encouraged to achieve 80% control of a unit before moving on. Many students will accomplish this in most units on the first try. Yet the approach in these three volumes is never simplistic, reducing the urge to be somewhere else or engaged in a more advanced section to the vanishing point.

Pimsleur Language Programs has populated websites with two highly sellable language-learning concepts: the `principle of anticipation' and `graduated interval recall'. The former refers to the interval during which the student is challenged to retrieve information to which he has been exposed, occasionally take some small step in the processing of it, and then utilize that information in a response. PLP has refined just the right intervals to facilitate prompt but unhurried responses.

`Graduated interval recall' refers to the time lag between the initial learning of a language component and its subsequent reintroduction in a new conversation. Here, too, the Pimsleur method shows its debt to years of practice and research. By my lights, they do this perfectly.

Regionally and socially, PLP's German course(s) aim at an `educated' dialect that will prepare the student to be conversant throughout Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

German I, II, and III are available in cassette tape and CD versions, packaged attractively and with sufficient ruggedness to survive both winter and summer Midwestern temperatures in my car.

5 out of 5 stars Sehr Gut.......2005-10-06

I took two years of German in high school, which was some decades ago, and after a ski trip to Austria I decided to brush up on my German. I've bought numerous books, dvds, tapes, etc. and for learning conversational German this has been far and away the best. It's pricey, no doubt, but it's very, very well done and very user friendly. I had a professor in college who said we learn the most in an area of "just manageable difficulty". In other words, stretched and challenged but not made to despair. This is the arena the Pimsleur cd/tapes work in.
I liked this one (German II) so well, I also bought 3 and 4. Two is the most well done, the guy on three sounds a bit like he's being held against his will, but the folks on this one are engaging and pleasant. They combine techniques of having you repeat German phrases with having you answer questions in German (can be a bit challenging) and a couple of other techniques. There is a bit of the unavoidable "canned" feel to the conversations, but nowhere near as much as in other tapes I've tried. I felt like I learned a lot and on a trip to Switzerland this year I was able to understand a lot and be conversational.
As I said III and IV, especially IV are not quite so well done, but II is excellent, and a lot cheaper than the average German course at a college would be. The only thing it lacks is much help with syntax, you probably need to plow through a German grammar book on your own for that.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the Pimsleur German series........2004-11-18

If you thought Pimsleur German I helped you to learn German, you really must move onto Pimsleur German II. It is, without a doubt, one of the best tools you could possibly use to progress from barely being able to get your message across to being able to express not only what you want, but what you think about things.

Both Pimsleur German I and II were updated in 2002, so they represent the best of decades of trying to perfect the language learning experience. What you will find in Pimsleur German II can't easily be found anywhere else, because it teaches you to speak the way Germans speak, complete with the little inflections that you would use without even thinking in your native language. I've never seen such things in any other program.

If you have the means, move onto Pimsleur German II as soon as possible after finishing Pimsleur German I. It will put you light years ahead in only a few short weeks.

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2004-04-01

The Pimsleur Program is great. I took German in high school and in college for about 3 years, but I learned more from this CD course in just one month. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to learn the basics of a new language. I'm halfway through the Level III edition now.

5 out of 5 stars A classic life enhancer.......2007-09-21

Covey's book is a classic that I frequently pull off my shelf to review. This CD set is a convenient way to review the timeless principles Covey teaches and to trigger thoughts about new applications in my own life while I'm on the road.

I'm a big supporter of listening to self development and training material while you drive/ride. Currently in my car's CD player: Dave Lakhani's "Making Marketing Work" (a guide for successful sales/marketing in today's world), Kevin Hogan's "Time for Love, Time for Money" (rock solid set on time, energy and financial creation) . . . and High School Musical 2 soundtrack (for my girls, not me - really!).

Your life will be richer - way beyond finances - for reading Covey's book and frequently reinforcing with this set of CDs. Even if you have not read the book and don't intend to, you will still benefit from these CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Simply a Classic.......2007-09-16

I have read the book and I now faciliate 7-Habits Seminars using the 3-CD Audio version which is simply fantastic. After absorbing a plethera of thse types of books, I recommend that Dale Carnegies' How to Win Friends and Influence People be used as a pre-requisite to the teachings of Dr. Covey. DC focus is on very basic human relationships which is a great primer and reinforcement for the first 3 of Stephen Habits whick comprise his concept of the private victory. Too many companies make the mistake of promoting their technically competent to the position of leader without an accurate assessment of their basic character and leadership potential. They usually assume that basic great character is already there sometimes based on just a high likability factor. You really have to have these character base concepts down before you move on to the public victory which is the path to true leadership.

5 out of 5 stars A Realistic Look in the Mirror.......2007-08-13

It's been around awhile, but this publication is at the top of the list. It makes you take stock in yourself and others.

3 out of 5 stars It is better to take time to read this material instead.......2007-08-10

The author just seems to be reading the book at his pace. It is lacking artistic touch. Although he understands the material very well, he has not taken time to illustrate the material using extra examples. A role playing of several people could be more effective to make it more interesting. The material is too intense to just hear and go to the next step without thinking through. On the other hand, it works out much better just reading the book and understanding the material, making notes and see how I can relate to the material.

5 out of 5 stars Truly effective!.......2007-05-17

My first audio book. Truly an effective use of time as a commuter. Great principle based habits to live by presented in an easily digestible format.

This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. --Joan Price

4 out of 5 stars Life's a Stage..........2007-09-30

Wow..."A Reader" seems extraordinarily bitter...

Every day you go to work, you are on a "stage"...as in "It's show time, folks!" The working world is highly competitive, and a necessary tool to all but guarantee your success is deception. This book/author teaches the art of deception. Whether or not the reader chooses to use this information to his/her advantage is a matter of personal choice.

This book has a purpose, and successfully presents that purpose, hence the four-stars...

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-09-09

Timeless advice and a charismatic delivery make this book enjoyable and likely to be acted on and revisited throughout your life. It will open your eyes wider, and give affirmation to mankind. Some reviews are all rah-rah, but I find the book is at times gleefully manipulative and uses only the best examples of its principles in action -- there's no guarantee you will make that sale, or that person will become your friend -- but it is worthwhile information and certainly is inspiring. It's definitely worth the price, and if you order through Amazon, it was a five star shipment for me.

Book Description

Yoga Nidra means "Yogic Sleep". It is a deep relaxation in which you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state, and enter into the deep sleep state, while remaining fully awake and alert. This state of awareness is extremely beneficial, both for releasing stress, and for experiencing the joy of subtler spiritual explorations or experiences.

The voice will systematically guide you to explore your physical body, then move through 61 specific points within the body, and then practice ascending breath awareness along the body and spine. Your attention will be brought to the space between the eyebrows, then to the throat, and finally to the heart center, where you will go deep into stillness and silence, beyond the activities of the mind.

Following the custom of the ancient sages, the depth of Yoga Nidra comes from inner awareness of the levels of your own self, including your body, breath, and the subtler mind, rather than diverting attention throuh music or inner fantasies. This inner exploring through self-awareness is a more refined form of meditation that leads you deeper into the stillness and silence of your own being, while remaining fully awake and aware. The Yoga Nidra methods bring you to a place of awareness where you are able to completely let go of any words, thoughts, images, impressions, or pictures in the mind. You are guided to allow your mind to "empty, empty, empty" though you remain fully awake and clear of mind.

The practices on this CD will gently train your ability to direct your own attention, which is the primary skill in the art of meditation. You will find that you are gradually able to use these methods on your own, without the CD, and the benefits will be with you not only during your practice time, but also during the activities of daily life.

The Yoga Nidra CD has five tracks. The first track is an introduction (8:02 minutes), describing the state of Yoga Nidra and the practices on the CD. The next four tracks move through four sequential practices that are listened to together, so as to form a complete practice of 57:24 minutes (CD is 65:36 minutes in total). These four tracks can also be listened to individually, as complete practices unto themselves, which allows you to have the benefits of practice when less time is available.

After some time of practicing Yoga Nidra, you will naturally find it to be a most enjoyable and spiritually inspiring part of your life.

5 out of 5 stars The Beginning of a Wonderful Journey.......2007-09-28

I just got my Yoga Nidra CD yesterday. My husband and I put it on last night. The sound quality is very good. The voice is very clean and clear. Unfortunately, we fell asleep before we could really get into the meditation. Actually, he fell asleep and his snoring was not conducive to my meditation! I turned the CD off and tried it again later. Then, I fell asleep within a few minutes.

I thought this morning would be a good time to try again and I must say, I was amazed. I didn't fall asleep, but at one point, I did pass quickly through a "dream." It was quite vivid, but very short. During the first part of the meditation, my mind was very active. The voice would say, "Be aware of your forehead." I was aware of my forehead and within a split moment, I was aware of something else! The voice said, "Be aware of your nostrils." I was aware of my nostrils and the breath going in and out, then suddenly I was aware of the bills I had to pay today. Towards the end of my meditation, though, I noticed the stray thoughts started to become fewer and I was able to focus longer on the body part I was supposed to be focusing on. I made it to the 10 minute silent part, the last track, of the cd before my dog started scratching on my bedroom door. I was a bit disappointed at not being able to make it through the entire CD, but what I did do had a very calming effect on the rest of my day. It wasn't a sluggish calm, but a refreshing calm. My muscles felt relaxed, as well as my mind. I can't wait to try again tomorrow. This time, I'll bring the dog in the room with me, so she won't scratch on the door. Maybe she'll make it to Nidra, too!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Yoga Nidra CD one can get.......2007-08-28

Finally I got what I was looking for....peace.
Extremely Relaxing CD, with crystal clear recording and the guided voice of god realized soul makes the spritual journey more enjoyable. If you are a person set out in the path of sprituality, looking for liberation or else just looking for peace or stress free life, then this is the best you can get. Please don't see it as a product, its a gift by swamiji to us and to mankind.

Highly recommended!!

4 out of 5 stars could be better.......2007-08-23

this tape is good if you want to relax and focus your mind and body.
It's not the right product if you are looking for tape that allows you to fall sleep

5 out of 5 stars Good for stress.......2007-06-20

Giving in to this CD gives you a good hour of relaxation. And puts you into a relaxing deep, yet conscious sleep. I personally remember laying on my mat and starting, within what seemed like minute all I remebered was the voice telling me to awake. But when I looked at my clock an entire hour had passed.

5 out of 5 stars serious and the best it can get.......2007-05-13

It is the most serious and deep material I have found so far. It is the real thing.May be not for everybody, because it is only for real searchers of the soul and mind!
I highly recommend it .

5 out of 5 stars A BLESSING!.......2007-10-04

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO KELLY HOWELLS SECRETE CD FOR ALMOST 8 WEEKS STRAIGHT WITHOUT MISSING A DAY. THE SOUNDS AND KELLY'S VOICE SEEMED A BIT STRANGE AND ANNOYING AT FIRST BUT AFTER LISTENING TO IT A FEW TIMES I BEGAN TO ENJOY IT. INSTEAD OF FIGHTING IT AND PRE JUDGING IT I DECIDED TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND I'M GLAD I DID. I BEGAN TO NOTICE POSITIVE CHANGES IN MYSELF AFTER TWO WEEKS OF LISTENING. I FEEL VERY RELAXED, I NO LONGER FEEL ANXIOUS, I DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING ANYMORE IN FACT I DON'T SEEM TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING ANYMORE, I'M A LOT MORE PATIENT THAN BEFORE, I FEEL AT PEACE WITH MYSELF AND OTHERS, I NO LONGER HAVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, I DON'T GET ANGRY EASILY ANYMORE. OVERALL IT HAS BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ME. IT HAS HELPED ME TO MAKE DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS IN MY LIFE. I WAS GOING TO STOP LISTENING TO IT AFTER 7 WEEKS BUT I'M HOOKED ON THE POSITVE CHANGES IT HAS BROUGHT ME SO I'M GOING TO KEEP LISTENING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO IS READY TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES. DON'T PRE JUDGE IT, HAVE AN OPEN MIND INSTEAD AND ALLOW THE POSITIVE CHANGES TO COME TO YOU. IT WILL TAKE A BIT GETTING USED TO IT AT FIRST BUT YOU WILL ENJOY IT AFTER LISTENING TO IT A FEW TIMES.

5 out of 5 stars AN ACCIDENTAL BLESSING.......2007-10-04

I PURCHASED THE SECRET UNIVERSAL MIND MEDITATION IN ERROR & FOUND IT TO BE A BLESSING. I'D CALL THIS A DIVINE INTERVENTION. SINCE PURCHASING THE SECRET UNIVERSAL MIND MEDITATION, I'M EXPERIENCING DEEPER AND MORE SOUND SLEEP WHICH LEAVES ME FEELING TOTALLY RESTED AND ABLE TO FUNCTION MORE EFFECTIVE THROUGHOUT MY WORK DAY. I WORK IN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FIND THAT I HAVE MORE PATIENCE & TOLERANCE FOR RUDE & DEMANDING PEOPLE.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MIND MEDITATION FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS SLEEP AND AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT.

2 out of 5 stars Too long.......2007-10-02

I thought this was a little scary. The background made me jumpy instead of sleepy and I was not willing to give this the amount of time recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, relaxing, and inspirational!.......2007-09-28

I saw The Secret DVD and thought that this would be a good way to listen to and absorb the principles of The Law of Attraction, so I downloaded the mp3 version. I've been listening to it on the bus ride in to work every morning, on my walk at lunchtime, and while taking a hot bath in the evening. I've noticed that every time I listen to it I hear new things, or rather, different parts of it seem to affect me more deeply each time I listen to it. All in all I find it very relaxing - I have an extremely stressful job and I find listening to this relaxes me and calms me down, and it restores my faith in God and the goodness of the universe! Whenever I find myself feeling negative and down, I can listen to this and find myself feeling positive and expecting miracles again, which I think is the whole point of The Secret! This recording has exceeded my expectations in every way and I highly recommend it.

2 out of 5 stars Not very impressed.......2007-09-27

After using it I can say I was not impressed and in fact seemed to become agitated by it. Not returning it, but won't pass it on to friends.
